My MC Finetail also has tiny guides but I know it's designed to work with nylon or PE.

Am I ok using SOS 2lb line on my JDM rods? The ones I own seem to perform well with it...
Yes on both accounts. I used SOS for quite a while on my JDM rods. I quit using it for 2 reasons.....I could no longer see it and to try JDM lines. Now all I use is hi-vis JDM lines.....nothing wrong with SOS line.

If anyone is looking for PE line thinner than human hair, check out XBraid Upgrade X4 0.2. It is certainly not supple, it will also sing in your guides, but it is THIN. It is strong for its diameter and does not seem to be prone to wind knots. Once I had a sizable mackerel beat it into a small bird's nest while I was trying to get all the hooks out. To my surprise, I managed to untangle in no time.
The suffix nanobraid has been great for me so far.
the 2lb is advertised at .001” diameter.
Break strength seems to be closer to the 3-3.5 lb range though.
it’s excellent line for vertical presentations and swimming jigs if not in deep water.
Hold on to your butt, though, if you think you will cast this line into a strong wind.
I couldn't break 2 lbs Nanobraid at 8 lbs. I agree, it is way too supple. If you look at 3 lbs JDM PE lines, they are much thinner and more round than Nanobraid, and are also priced very competitively. But Nanobraid is right here, available through Amazon. Huge plus...
I do not have any good means to measure the actual diameter, but when I compare 2 lbs Nanobraid with #0.15 JDM PE that has breaking strength of 3 lbs side by side the JDM line is far thinner to a naked eye. I do think that Nanobraid is a very good line, but I wish they were honest about the breaking strength (and likely diameter).
As I do realize I haven’t seen any in person, and also do not possess a way to measure thickness of line this small.
I decided to order some myself to see what it’s all about.
Daiwa Presso Sensor+Si II 150m 3lb #0.15 is on its way expedited from Japan right now, this is drop shot season for me, so it won’t take long for me to be able to report back on this line.
